History Taking
The first step of examining a patient is documenting a detailed history of the complaints for which the person has come to consult the doctor.

Slit lamp Examination

Vision and Refraction
In this stage of ocular evaluation, a refraction value is taken with the help of an automated machine and then the distance and near visual acuity of each eye and then

Intra Ocular Pressure
Certain structures within the eye manufacture a fluid called aqueous humour, which nourishes the structures within the anterior segment of the eye and leave.

External Examination
The extra ocular movements of the eyes are synchronised movements which involve many cranial nerves and results in binocular vision and improved range of vision.

Retina Evaluation
The retinal evaluation is best done following pupillary dilation, which enables the examiner to see the central and the retinal periphery.
Testimonials

He’s our family Doctor. And we are very grateful to him.
Dedicated and passionate Doctor.
Highly recommended.
The staffs are very polite and supportive
Thank you ashok sir and team
Much appreciated
approachable on phone. Have visited with my family members for past 2 years, highly recommend
2. Fate or what, I went second time for changing my specs. the specs they gave they have buried the lens in a way that a mild tear happened in one of the edges. The thickness of my lens is more but I dont know if they have applied 200%of pressure to let it fit inside. but it lead to a tear in day 1 itself. After that as expected in a months' time lens came off.
I decided not to go with them especially for specs because uality for the price is not great. And even if the complain its manufacturers fault then why u r recommending us those specs. recommend something of good quality.
The next time I went to specsmakers near my house. the past experience with ashok eye hospital gave some light to ask right questions. i waited for two days till specsmakers ordered a 2k specs for me in buy one get one free offer. i was initially having a doubt. but the quality is definitely better than ashok eye hospital's recommendation. especially with our city's dust and sweat. main notable quality is paint on the specs doesnt come out of dust and sweat. they also suggested right thickness of the frame.
This is just for everyone to know about how things work with optometrist in ashok eye hospital. you may see the doctor but for specs and lens I STRONGLY DONT RECOMMEND THEIR INTERVENTION. 2 Stars only for the doctor. And I have already thrown their specs and glasses in the dustbin so unable to upload photos.
For last free months my mother had vision problems and we consumed nearby eye care clinics. All they have suggested is the cataract. We have been thinking where to do this cataract. Based on my relative feedback we heard this hospital has the surgery facility, also it is nearby my home and the surgeryrecovery is fast. Based on their feedback we visited this hospital last week.
Doctor diagnosed the problem calmly and explained the situation. He also suggested cataract surgery as it has grown where surgery is the only option.
We returned home and had discussion and finalized to undergo surgery in this hospital.
We went back to the hospital and requested what kind of test we need to take, so that we can plan the date for surgery.
Doctor prescribed certain test and we did home collection from nearby lab. We also took the eye scan from this hospital, post all the results we consumed doctor for the surgery date, type of lens and surgery cost.
Doctor clearly explained the packages and requested us to choose. Based on our convenience we chosen the lens, package and the date.
Add planned we arrived the hospital on time, the checked from their end and performed surgery. The procedure took not more than 20 mins and this hospital has ambulatory ward. Post surgery my mom arrived to ambulatory ward and stayed for an hour and they checked her eye post surgery and discharged her.
We were asked to come for rewrite the next day. We meet the doctor and doctor c checked her eye and performed eye test. Now she is able to see and read.
Overall i had good experience in this hospital and surgery was performed semelessly.
The staff guided us well in selecting the right frame and lenses.
She feels very comfortable and satisfied with the specs.
They charged rs 20,000 for spectacles for my daughter telling it's a miopic lens and after 6 months rechecking eye power , they are asking me to change the spectacles again for my daughter and telling me to spend another 20K. Worst existence 👎
We had visited couple of weeks back and only had a small follow up dilution test pending and since my kid had exams couldn’t do on the grace time they had given.
We explained so much and requested them to waive off if possible on the follow up visit after the grace time they stated as there was no major test apart from just dilution test and they really didn’t bother to just be little considerate and made it look so bad
The entire experience was very shattering and worst. My kid was crying and none from the hospital bother to come forward and atleast make the kid little to be controlled and rather asked us to go out. Had one staff come forward to atleast console the child would have been little better
We have been going to their clinic past 4 yrs and really didn’t expect for this smallest thing they couldn’t be so considerate and look it so ugly
Just sharing our experiences
Thank you 🥺
When I was go for eye wash
But they don't do that otherwise they are give to me a two useless eye drops bottles price 300
And convenience fees 600
Don't go this center
(Other center are 200-500 charging for eye wash).my personal review for this hospital (10/-10000000000000)
Please anyone tell me where to do eye wash only
Dr is very kind, gentle & professional. Very clearly explains my eye issues, so that I'm more confident now. I'm fully satisfied with his treatment. My wife underwent cataract surgeries for her both eyes. Her vision now is extremely superb & best part is that she could manage both long & short sight without glasses(at the age of 71).
To sum up, the hospital is very hygienic & maintain all safety standards for COVID. The entire team is very friendly & service minded.
